Do these Atari carts, manuals, boxes exist?

[Philflound]

Do these carts, manuals, and boxes exist? I know they should, but I've yet to get the proof. Here is a list I've compiled of what I think should exist. It's based on detective work and logic. There are probably more, especially red label carts. But I haven't got into that in detail yet. Probably in the near future. Anyway, things like if there is a red box Mouse Trap made in China in 1988, there should be a China 1988 cartridge (example, not necessarily true). Goes for Taiwan and Hong Kong. I wouldn't put any assumption on mix boxes like Printed in Hong Kong / Made in China. Could have either, so I won't write those. But again, that will be in the future.

 

I've been diligently working on adding tons of variations to the photo site, but wanted to post this separate from my new thread. If anyone has any of these items, I'd appreciate scans. Box front and back, cart main and end label, manual all pages. Anything confirmed I'll put in replies rather than relist the entire list each time. I really do need to become a paid AA member so I can edit for 30 days, but funds are limited. Also, there are known box variations like many of the grey boxes that are on the list, but I don't have a good scan of yet. What I did for the most part is remove speculative listings altogether and will only have listings that are verified. The original list was crazy with things that were 1 of a kind or items I didn't think existed, so I'm sticking with the facts.

 

The manuals are the biggest obstacle because I have very little access to scans. User42 had a decent amount, but usually has only 1 manual scan per title, so unless Atariguide has them up, I'm limited to my own inventory.
